Hi Grade Sixes!
Let's put on the explorer's hat and research about how people in the past migrated to various parts of the world. Here are some links that would help you find out how and why people moved and where they settled.
Here is an interesting website that will help you see some of the interesting differences between the different hominids during the course of human evoluation. You will notice that there are many more species than we have studied - can you remember some of their names?
For homework - due Friday April 18, find at least 4 major changes in hominids over time.
